u/GrandNord

Yesterday was the first time I ever panned and I didn't find squat, but today I got my first gold!!

I'm not planning on getting rich off of this or anything, just collecting rocks, minerals and the like. Gold I found myself is a really nice addition.

Included some pretty alluvial garnets that will also go in my collection.

Today's finds, a small amount of gold flakes and some pretty alluvial garnets.

It's not much but it's not like I'm planning on getting rich, I just like collecting rocks and minerals and there's something satisfying about finding them myself.

Panned in southern Ardèche, in France. I'll go back tommorow and maybe the day after tommorow.
